Companions.
It was an answer that Lü Zi expected, but it made her feel a little disappointed and regretful.
"So, let's find a safe place first."
Qinchuan looked at the messy ground and said to Lü Zi, "I'll teach you how to find a tree hole. Let's go forward and find a tree hole to hide in for a few days."
According to Qinchuan's instructions, Lü Zi quickly found a tree hole about a hundred meters away. It could barely accommodate two people.
After Lü Zi cleaned the tree hole, she came under the tree and carried Qinchuan up. Qinchuan sat in the tree hole and looked at the clean and tidy tree hole. He laughed and said, "I didn't expect our Miss Lü to be so good at cleaning."
Lü Zi pursed her lips and said to Qinchuan, "Don't talk nonsense. I'll go find a water source. You rest here."
"Be careful."
Qinchuan reminded Lü Zi. They must not cause any trouble at this time. If they were not careful, they would be wiped out.
Lv Zi went out for about half an hour before returning to the tree hole with two jugs of water. She sat beside Qin Chuan and poured the disinfected water into a cup before bringing it to Qin Chuan. "Let me feed you." Qin Chuan nodded his head and said, "Don't worry.
Qinchuan smiled and enjoyed Lü Zi's thoughtful service. Suddenly, he said, "I suddenly remembered an ancient novel I read. There is a classic line in it. Da Lang, it's time to take medicine."
Lü Zi looked at Qinchuan and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Nothing." Qinchuan coughed and said, "Can you confirm our current position?"
"Wait a moment."
Lü Zi turned and took out a map from her backpack. After calculating on it with a pen, she pointed at a black spot and said to Qinchuan, "We are about 400 kilometers away from the Blue Ancient City marked on the map."
Four hundred kilometers didn't sound like a long distance. If it was outside, it would take less than half an hour to travel four hundred kilometers with a shuttle at full speed. However, in the Blackmoon Mountain Range, it was normal for it to take half a year to travel four hundred kilometers.
If they got lost, they might not be able to get out in this life!
Qinchuan looked at the map and frowned slightly, saying, "With my current recovery speed, it will take at least a week to fully recover. It will take some time."
"Rest for three days.
Then we will set off. I will carry you. "
Lü Zi said seriously to Qinchuan, "Although it will be slower, it is the best choice.
"That is the only way." Qinchuan raised his eyes and looked at Lü Zi, "I will have to trouble you for the time being."
… …
Three days later, Qinchuan and Lü Zi, who had been hiding in the tree hole for three days, set out again. Along the way, Qinchuan fully opened his perception and guided Lü Zi to avoid danger after danger. The two gradually left the periphery of the Black Moon Mountain Range and came to the middle of the mountain range.
It was night. Lü Zi and Qinchuan couldn't find a tree hole to rest in, so they could only sleep in the wild. Because they had entered a dangerous area and could encounter demon beasts at any time, Qinchuan and Lü Zi were extremely cautious. They didn't dare to light a campfire at night and could only eat some tasteless nutrient fluids.
"It's the seventh day."
Qinchuan pursed his lips and said to Lü Zi, who was sitting beside him, "Other than the first and second night, we didn't encounter any more mountain ghosts."
In the past few nights, Qinchuan and Lü Zi were most worried about encountering new mountain ghosts. However, in the past few days, they didn't encounter any more mountain ghosts. It could be said that they were very lucky.
"Don't jinx it."
Lü Zi pursed her lips slightly and said, "During the day, because you said that there were no demon beasts in the middle of the mountain range, a demon wolf suddenly jumped out from the bushes and chased us for an entire afternoon. I used a total of four one-time use artifacts to scare it away. Now that you mention mountain ghosts, I am really a little scared."
"It's fine. I will protect you well."
Qinchuan smiled and said, "In another day, my injuries will almost …"
Ga ga ga ga!
Just as Qinchuan was speaking, an ear-piercing and unpleasant shriek suddenly rang out from the nearby mountain forest. Hearing this extremely frightening shriek, Qinchuan and Lü Zi's expressions turned extremely ugly at the same time!
Mountain ghost, it was actually another mountain ghost!
"I told you, you jinx it!"
Lü Zi felt like she was going crazy. They were being chased by demon beasts during the day, and now they encountered a mountain ghost at night. They were simply too unlucky!
"Don't worry. That mountain ghost doesn't seem to be coming for us."
Qinchuan reached out and grabbed Lü Zi's hand, indicating that Lü Zi shouldn't be too nervous. He focused his mind and calmed his heart to sense the direction of the mountain ghost's shriek. Then, he said to Lü Zi, "That mountain ghost should be in the north, about 300 meters away from us."
Lü Zi held Qinchuan's hand tightly and asked with some doubt, "Could it be that the mountain ghost is pestering someone else?
Could it be someone who came to participate in the assessment like us? "
"That's possible." Qinchuan squatted and said to Lü Zi, "Let's go over and take a look."
"That's too dangerous!"
Lü Zi almost refused without thinking. They were already very lucky that the mountain ghost didn't come looking for them. If they were to take the initiative to look for the mountain ghost, wouldn't they be tired of living?!
"This mountain ghost is too close to us. What if it deals with the people over there and comes looking for us again?
I haven't recovered from my injuries yet, and you've been tired for a day. This is the time when your combat strength is at its weakest. We have to take the initiative to attack and see if we can join forces with the others to deal with this mountain ghost! "
Hearing Qinchuan's words, Lü Zi pursed her lips and said to Qinchuan, "Alright, we'll go over. But if we encounter any danger, this time … don't worry about me."
"Alright."
Qinchuan grinned. "When the time comes, each of us will show our remarkable abilities. Whether or not we can survive will depend on our own abilities."
After making their decision, Qinchuan and Lü Zi immediately took action. Under the cover of the night, they quietly dashed toward the mountain ghost's location.
Soon, they arrived at the scene. When they hid behind a tree and saw the situation, they couldn't help but reveal extremely shocked expressions.
In an open space ten meters away, a bright bonfire was burning. Next to the bonfire was a mountain ghost lying quietly!
Looking at the mountain ghost that no longer showed any signs of life, Qinchuan and Lü Zi's eyes widened. Less than two minutes had passed since they heard the mountain ghost's howl. The mountain ghost was actually dead, and its corpse was still intact?!
Who did this?
"Are you … looking for me?"
At that moment, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded behind Qinchuan and Lü Zi!
